We chat with TheBlackPhone star Ethan Hawke about what convinced him to take on a role as villainous as the Grabber, whether MoonKnight's Arthur Harrow is dead, and why no one's called him about a StarWars movie yet:
The Black Phone sees star Ethan Hawke once again teaming up with the dynamic duo behind his 2012 hit Sinister, writer-director Scott Derrickson and co-writer C. Robert Cargill. The newest film, which releases in theaters on June 24, allows Derrickson to return to his horror roots despite parting ways with Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Ethan Hawke: It was awesome. Sinister was a great experience; I think it was great for him too. It was an important movie in my career. It was my first horror movie, and I was turning 40. Scott kind of reinvigorated my love of genre movies, and I learned a lot from him. I normally never felt inclined. I just didn't want to invite that kind of energy into my imagination; I just didn't want to. But then I thought,"With Scott, he'll do it really well. It'll be worth it."
Arthur Harrow's more what I would call an antagonist. He's against the hero, but he still thinks he's a good person. He has a certain logic that you can follow. The Grabber is just evil incarnate. He's just some disgusting id from the universe, so that was more challenging. Ethan Hawke: Super creepy. I knew when I saw the mask, I was like,"Oh, this movie's gonna work. This is gonna be great." Ethan Hawke: He doesn't feel dead to me. That's all I can say.
